Legion sisters with the living saint

[Jack Shrapnel]

So Mike just let me know the harbringer is inbound... such a pretty model... such a nice model to make the living saint out of!!!!

So here's my alternative version of a legion list, squeezing St. Celestine in (jumping around with the Seraphim or alternatively tarpitting pretty much single-handed thanks to being able to give herself a 2+ invul with a faith point (2+/4+ without) and hit and run shenanigans.

So what did I gain?
A jumping HQ who comes back on the table if she dies, who ignores armor and has a 2+/3+

What did I lose?
3 one shot flamers from the sisters squads, one shot flamer from Seraphim

What did I have to trade:

5 celestians with melta in an immolator for 5 stormtroopers with melta in an immolator (kind of a wash - the celestians are still pretty suicidal but have at least the 3+... the troopers are scoring - and built!)

As always, recommendations are greatly appreciated!

[thesanityassassin]

Another one of those?

[trevor]

well in the ard boys turnament i played against this gaurd player who had a squad of 20 sisters + character who held me up for 5 cc rounds they had some special faith thing that made them all have 3+ invols and stubern.

[thesanityassassin]

I guess you could get the sisters a 3+ invul and the Character a 2+.....so with luck, yeah, they'd hold you up.

[Jack Shrapnel]

regular sisters can only get the 3+...

but celestine can have a 2+ invul and she denies the termies their armor save at least... she'd probably do better against them without her unit to be honest... they don't add that much...
